Arizona USATF Sanctions and Insurance

Sanctioning Races & Meets

A USA Track & Field sanction is a
certificate issued by USA Track and Field
which approves and, in effect, licenses the holding of an Athletics
competition in the United States. A sanction is issued only to events
which meet the requirements of the Amateur Sports Act of 1978
and USA Track & Field.

USA Track & Field sanctions in Arizona are obtained by
filing a completed USA Track & Field sanction application with the
Arizona USATF Association at least 30 days prior
to the event and paying the requisite Association and National fees.
Any event with prize
money in excess of $250 or has international athletes, should be sure
to fill out the special
Elite Sanction Addendum, in addition to the normal sanction form.

All sanctioned events will need to file a required Post Event
Report within fifteen days of the event.

Sanctions for events not requiring USATF's liability insurance, can
purchase
a "no insurance" sanction for 10% of the national fee, plus the local
association fee. We will
require an insurance certificate naming USA Track & Field, Inc. as
an additional insured
on the policy of the race director or sponsor or other body (RRCA,
YMCA, etc.).

Trademark Sublicense Agreement

Events wishing to use the USA Track & Field name or logo,
must first complete
a sublicense agreement with the state association.

Club Practice Insurance

Clubs that hold reqularly scheduled and supervised practices
are encouraged to carry USATF club practice insurance. There is no fee
for the insurance, but a $15 fee is assessed
if the club needs a certificate of insurance. A schedule of practices
and resume(s) of coaching
experience is required. Form and information are available upon request
from the state office.
